First time doing Buckskin Gulch. There are experienced people coming with me, but I thought I'd get y'all's input anyway. We'll be going from Wire Pass to White House over Memorial Day weekend.
-Is there any point bringing a GPS, or are you in the slot most of the way?
-Is it worth bringing a separate pair of shoes for the wet parts so you don't have to hike the rest of the way with wet feet?
-Is there filterable water at a midpoint, or do I need to bring it all with me?

It looks like an awesome hike. Thanks all.

-Is it worth bringing a separate pair of shoes for the wet parts so you don't have to hike the rest of the way with wet feet? My vote is no - old trail-runners or tennies work great.
-Is there filterable water at a midpoint, or do I need to bring it all with me? There is filterable water that surfaces in the Buckskin just upstream of the confluence camp.
It looks like an awesome hike. Thanks all.

Thoughts imbedded (bolded) above.

There are quiet a few past Paria/Buckskin gear discussions in the forum here on HAZ, you might want to have a look at those as well.

One note: On occasion, there is a (biting) black fly hatch down there around the end of May, so be prepared in case. It only lasts a few days, but those few days........
